It's been two years now that we started celebrating holidays at our own abode. We used to celebrate it at my FIL's home together with the rest of the family but hubby and I feel that it would be best to be at home during the holidays so the kids will get used to it . Here are some of the photos we had in Celebrating the new year.
The Burritos played monopoly while waiting for the ball to drop. In previous years, we let them go to bed before midnight but his year, they asked if they could stay with us so we let them.
Then we witnessed the ball dropped via television and we took some happy snaps before going to bed.
We visited my FIL on the first day of 2014 and took a photo with him as well.
IN the year of the horse, we look forward to kicking bad habits to get fit and maintain family togetherness and nurture the love that we have for each other.
Happy New Year, its great to have special family moments together. x

ReplyDeleteI think being with family is the perfect way to spend the holiday! This was our first year not traveling since we got married and it is my new favorite!

ReplyDeleteSa January 31 pa start. <3 yes, so true - time to go forward with life and get rid of those lazy and bad habits, diba hehehe may we have the both of our happiness and luck this 2014 sis! <3
ReplyDeleteThat is the advantage of having a boy and a girl. Both parents got their own buddies. :) Anyway, Happy New Year to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. I love to play Monopoly but haven't done so for years!
ReplyDeleteAwe you have a very lovely family! We also stayed home. Had a few relatives show up which is always nice, but my kids do enjoy being in there own space for holidays as well.
ReplyDeleteWe used to celebrate the holidays at family homes too, but the past few years we have decided to stay home. Travel with kids is difficult. It's easier to have the parents come to us. Lovely family photos!
ReplyDeletei love the traditions you've started, spending holidays at home is such a wonderful thing we can teach our kids.
ReplyDeleteThe kids are never going to forget those moments! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI prefer celebrating the holidays at our own home, too, eventhough it's just us. We had friends that invited us on Christmas and New Year's eve but we declined. Isn't it a perfect time to bond and welcome the new year as a family? :)
ReplyDeleteWe always wind up going to bed before midnight, but it looks like you guys had a fun and laidback celebration! :)
ReplyDeleteIt is nice that you have family to visit though I understand deciding to stay home. I am sure you will do well with both of your goals for the Year of the Horse as you are already very active and always spend time with your family - love that!
ReplyDeleteSounds like the perfect New Year's Eve! Much better than being out in the cold running around!
ReplyDeleteLovely family sis , I do love celebrating holidays in the comfort of our home as. Holidays is more fun when our family is around. Happy New Year cheers for healthy and peaceful year from ours to yours :)
